The University of Notre Dame (South Bend, Indiana) is my alma mater and I manage the alumni club of France. We are hosting a wonderful concert this Sunday June 5th at 4pm at Eglise La Madeleine (Place de la Madeleine, 75008 Paris). The Notre Dame Glee Club is famous around the world and is on its annual European tour. The concert promises to be great. If you’re interested, drop me a line at ndalumnifrance@gmail.com
